ipv6

In my firewall I did not enabled the ipv6 to any port. But still firewall releasing the ipv6 IP address to the devices like Mobiles and IPV6 enabled systems. I am unable to trace where it is releasing and why. Could you please any one help in this regard.

  • Hello there,

    Thank you for contacting the Sophos Community!

    Try following this KB on how to capture ipv6 traffic on the XG. It should help you identify where the traffic is coming from.

    Regars,

  • Hi emmosophos,

    Thank you for your reply, I am find the same but I would like to stop the lan traffic, like IPv6 intra network traffic should be not occurred in any manner. 

    Thanks n Regards,

  • What do you get from logviewer? 

    From my understanding that shows you have a IPv6 configuration in your XG otherwise you would not see ff02::1

  • Sophos Firmware Version SFOS 18.0.4 MR-4

    Network Settings
    Interface Name : Port4 (Physical)
    Zone Name : xxx

    IPv4/Netmask : 192.168.xx.xx/255.255.xxx.xxx (Static)

    IPv6/Prefix : Not Configured
    IPV6 Gateway : N.A.

    Did you see the above, IPv6 was not configured in Port 4. But still It is responding and reacting against IPv6. Why? Have you any idea or solution to trace.

  • what does logviewer show for port 4?

    What about the external interface or DNS settings?

  • That is the thing I am unable to understand. From where it is coming into picture and responding too to the IPv6 requests/traffic.

    External and DNS settings are under IPv4 only. Not identified any suspicious configurations against IPv6.

  • Hello there,

    Make sure you also didn't configure IPv6 DHCP server on the XG. 

    Also, how are you checking if the XG is the one providing the IP? 

    Regards,

  • Hi,

    I verified the port4, it is static IPv4 and not configured the IPv6. There is an IPv6 neighbor cache, After flush/delete also again table is get updating with IPv6 address.

    Thanks n Regards,

  • Hi,

    something on your network is handing out link local addresses.

    Go to configuration -> system services -> check that the IPv6 service is stopped.

    Network -> IPv6 RA is not enabled or has any data in it.
